Description
The Taylor Custom #23: C14ce-B4023 Baritone-8 is an exceptional instrument designed for players seeking a rich, resonant tone with extended range. Tuned from B-to-B and featuring a 27-inch scale length, this eight-string baritone guitar produces a strikingly deep voice with a shimmering layer of octave strings, delivering a unique playing experience unlike any other.
Crafted with back and sides of beautifully figured black limba and a hand-selected Lutz spruce top, this Grand Auditorium model is enhanced by baritone-exclusive bracing, giving it the power to project with depth and clarity. The custom appointments further elevate its aesthetic appeal. An ebony tail strip, Indian rosewood back strip, and an artfully hand-sprayed shaded edgeburst on the back, sides, and neck emphasize the natural beauty of the woods. The guitar is finished with a dark stain on the Lutz spruce top, lending a vintage, rosewood-like look to its overall appearance.
The guitar’s visual artistry continues with Spiked Oval fretboard inlays made of green abalone and koa, paired with a single-ring paua rosette bound by rosewood, koa, and black purfling. Rosewood binding and rosewood bridge pins add refined touches, while Gotoh 510 mini tuners in antique gold provide precision tuning and smooth functionality.
Equipped with Taylor’s Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics, this Baritone-8 ensures that its deep, complex tones translate perfectly in amplified settings. TaylorSense technology is also integrated, providing monitoring of the guitar’s vital conditions for optimal care. The package is completed with a luxurious brown deluxe hardshell case to ensure maximum protection on the road.
Whether you’re looking to explore new musical depths or seeking an extraordinary instrument to inspire your creativity, the Taylor Custom #23: C14ce-B4023 Baritone-8 is a standout choice for professional players and discerning collectors alike.
